Mueller 6qt Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven, Heavy-Duty Casserole and Braiser Pan with Lid and Knob, Safe for All Cooktops, Aqua Blue

This dutch oven is well worth the price! This was the first time I bought from this brand and I am forever a loyal user now. The quality of the interior surfacing on this dutch oven is nice, as is the outside color even with repeat weekly baking. The pan is durable and really easy to clean. I make sourdough bread weekly in this at 450 degrees, and when lined with parchment paper for berry incorporated breads, the clean up is an uber simple point 3 seconds. But, when I was learning, I left the parchment paper out. The blueberries that baked inside the oven looked like they totally marred and stained the bottom. I was so relieved I was quite wrong! They came right off the enameled surface with just a simple hot water and wood spatula scrub! This dutch oven is a little heavier, I think, compared to the other two brands I've used, but it is my go to for everything baking related now. It's possible still to maneuver it just fine in and out of the oven with enough room for a second one next to it (... which means I need another one!)My husband loves this pot for making his beef stew. It's great for his chili as well.The handles are sturdy, the lid is easy to take off mid bread bake in the oven, and this will last for many, many years. I like the capacity at 6 qt for baking and my husband and I will use it for larger meal preparations. Great addition to the kitchen.

I am so glad I purchased this instead of spending several times more for the well-known, fancy French brand. Yes, those are probably beautiful and high quality, but so is this! I've made sauces, curries, sourdough, and have had zero issues. The enamel coating is easy to clean and the blue color is a lovely cobalt--looks very nice with my collection of blue and white china. Great purchase!

I recently purchased a cast iron pot, and it has quickly become one of my favorite kitchen tools. The build quality is excellent—thick, heavy-duty cast iron that retains heat incredibly well and distributes it evenly. I mainly use it in my micro-bakery for sourdough bread but it has been super useful in large batch soups, oatmeal and slow-cooked meals. The results are consistently flavorful and perfectly cooked.What makes this pot stand out is how well it maintains temperature after being removed from the heat source. It cools down slowly, which is perfect for keeping dishes warm during serving or when prepping meals ahead of time. The enamel coating makes cleaning much easier than traditional raw cast iron.The only downside is the weight—it’s quite heavy, especially when full—but that’s expected with cast iron. Just make sure you have good storage space and don’t mind a bit of heft when using it. Also because I chose the white pit there is some slight staining.Overall, this cast iron cooling pot is a great investment for serious home cooks who value durability and excellent heat retention. Highly recommended!

I don't know why I waited so long to get a cast iron dutch oven. I have used it to make stews, chilis, soups, various meats, and it is FABULOUS. I do use gentle care when cleaning it and make sure it is very dry and use the included rubber bumpers with the cover for storage. Used many times and still looks brand new. I love how easily it cleans up! The blue is beautiful... love it!

I am very pleased with my purchase. This Dutch oven is crafted from high-quality materials, and I find it very versatile—perfect for making chili, soups, goulash, baking bread, and various other dishes. I believe it offers great value for the price.

I’m obsessed with this beautiful kitchen must have! It’s so versatile I don’t know why I didn’t have one much, much sooner! It’s great for one pot meals- from sautéed items to oven roasting & bread baking. It’s beautiful to look at, heats evenly, easy to clean and just the right amount of weight. It came well packaged and fast! I’m so so so excited to make many more things using this new fave. I think it’s going to easily replace several of my current pots/pans and make meals that much better!

Very functional, cleans like a dream, beautiful appearance, great value for the price. I've cooked several loaves of bread at 450F and each time the enamel shows some new damage. It is not as high quality looking as some with several layers of enamel. However, great value as an introduction to enameled cast iron. Love love love the self basting lid. I also love that the handle doesn't have any branding.

This is a gift for my husband, an amateur but enthusiastic chefHe's absolutely loving it! It's large enough for big family meals, and versatile enough to use for main courses, breads, and desserts. The color is vibrant, and the enamel is easy to clean. Couldn't be happier with it.
